Newly renovated, the Cacona Beach Apartment is literally a few steps from the beach and within a short walk of the centre of Treasure Beach village. The Beach Apartment is small and not fancy, but is air conditioned, has a tiny kitchen across the patio, and has it's lovely patio under the shade of coconut trees and the the main villa's deck. The Beach Apartment is perfect for a couple or solo travellers looking for a great deal. If you like the sound of the sea, you'll love it!

The space is small - just a small bedroom and on-suite bathroom. The kitchen for the apartment you get to by crossing the patio outside your room. It's a tiny kitchen, and very basic. The space is perfect for a single traveler or maybe a couple on a budget. As small and basic as it is, you can't beat the location if you love the ocean! (Speaking of which, if you don't like the sound of the breaking of waves on the shore, this place is not for you... you are really close to the sea!)

Had an amazing experience in Treasure Beach while staying at Cacona. The villa is absolutely beautiful. The management and cleaning staff are incredibly helpful, sweet, and generous. They kept the place clean during my visit and always reached out to make sure I was comfortable. The place overlooks the gorgeous Treasure Beach, so you can enjoy the sound of the ocean from the porch or you can take a quick walk down to the beach itself for a swim or to catch the sunset. Bugs were a noteworthy concern, but not because of the cleaning staff. It seemed no matter how clean, the harmless ants found a way in. The place could benefit from some new pots/pans and utensils. It's hard to tell which ones go together. In reality, those were minor concerns in comparison to the amazing experience I had. I will definitely be back to Treasure Beach and to Cacona Villa!!

Great place. Very relaxing location just a few steps from the beach. The Villa is tidy and comfortable, the hosts were very polite and made me feel very welcomed. The closest shops are about 10 minute walk on the main road but if you come prepare you can use the kitchen which is well furbished and not need to go out at all. Would certainly come again.

The place is just as it looks in the pictures. The kitchen is not in the room, but a few steps away. The area was quiet and as stated, it's steps from the beach. That side of the beach is relatively quiet, so if you're looking for extra alone time, then it's perfect for you. Staff was friendly and helpful, great job on that. Had a few issues with the hot water, but not much. Down there is so hot and I was at the beach mostly, so not a major problem with that. Thanks again Mott!

Karen2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

Overall we enjoyed our stay and the room is as described, but there were a few niggles that need improving that made this a little overpriced compared to other places we stayed in Jamaica. The kitchen could do with a few more pots to be able to easily cook for two, although it's fine if you just want a sandwich and a fridge for cold drinks. You also have access to a deck that you share with the guests renting the main house. The was some noise during our stay from guests in the main house. But you are just steps from the beach!

Ashley2017-05-08T00:00:00Z

Great location on the beach. If you want to relax with no people around this is the place for you. The room was very clean and comfortable.

Seaside Villa apartment is a spacious fully private, self contained, self catering, 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom apartment on the top floor of the villa. There is a full kitchen, lounge area with TV, and balconies to the front and back. It is Ideally suited for those that do not want to share common areas and facilities with others outside of your party. (The pool is used by all guests). The beach is easily accessible through a quiet path.

Seaside Villa is a charming getaway located in the highly desirable Old Wharf neighborhood of Treasure Beach. We are close enough to make it a convenient and easy 10 minute walk into town, yet far enough away to enjoy the privacy the space has to offer. It is located on a quiet lane with no traffic or noise.

Seaside Villa is situated in the highly desirable Old Wharf section of Treasure Beach and is an easy 10 minute walk to the 'center of town'. It is super private and quiet. A small track leads you down to a private swimming cove or to the larger beach of Calabash Bay.

Good property, but definitely liked host very helpful and made sure we are OK, there was a acute rainy weather data ed in the region, Annabella made sure we are safe and comforted. Also, she offered to compensate as a good gesture as we practically lost the stay fun due to bad weather. Security and cook were good at service as well.

What To Do In Treasure Beach
This is a quiet laid back farming and fishing community, and obviously the beaches and the sea are the main attractions.
But wherever there are rocks or reefs close inshore, you will find good snorkeling ... and Treasure Beach is no exception.
Radom comments ......
There are lots of local bars where visitors are made to feel very welcome. You will enjoy meeting and chatting to the locals. And you will most likely be invited to play Dominoes.
The Jerk Pork or Chicken is excellent, better in my experience than from any of the fancier Jerk places on the north coast.
And, if you want a break from the beach, sea and sun, several local operators provide day trips for sight-seeing and exploring the numerous attractions in this part of Jamaica.
Obviously the beaches and the sea are the main attractions.
On any of our Jamaican beaches, where there are rocks or reefs close inshore, you will find good snorkeling ... and Treasure Beach is no exception.
And, if you want a break from the beach, sea and sun, you will be spoilt for choice. You can find something different to do every day, exploring the numerous attractions in this part of Jamaica.
Some of the things you can do are
Tour of Appleton Estate where the Rum is made
Visit YS Falls - privately owned and a really enjoyable experience
Visit the historic town of Black River and do the Black River Safari
A visit to Lover's Leap
Golf in Mandeville at the Manchester Club
A visit to Accompong the only remaining Maroon settlement
Boat tours along the coast to Black River or Alligator Pond can be arranged with local fishermen.
A trip by boat out to Pelican Bar, which is out at sea ... good thing you do not have to drive home.
Fishing at sea? A great experience if you have never done it. There will always be a fisherman willing to take you out for a days fishing.
Left on Nov 4, 2016 for a stay in Oct 2016
Great.(URL HIDDEN)We stayed at the cottage for two weeks in October. Prior to our arrival, caretaker Bredda coordinated an airport pick-up in Montego Bay and provided real-time updates on the status of Hurricane Matthew. We were to arrive hours after mainstream US news predicted Matthew would hit Jamaica...but it never did. Bredda kept us in the loop via text, and was at the airport to meet us. The property is just as the listing describes. A simple kitchen with all the implements, AC in the bedroom, toilet and indoor/outdoor showers. Bedroom includes a king bed. In the living area, there are two day beds and a two-seat bar area for breakfast. The porch was a perfect spot with a picnic table and adirondack chair. Sunsets were best viewed from the cabana The beach light sand, some of big rocks, and a easy paths into the sea. We spent a lot of time snorkling up and down the coast - lots of small fish, a few schools of bait, and lots of other creatures. Bredda was a perfect part of the experience. We did not rent a car, so relied on hired cars or walking to keep supplied. Over the course of two weeks, we ventured out on a couple of boats, and checked out YS Falls. Bredda had our best interests in mind, and connected us with warm and real tour guides. He was graciously available to hook us up with last-minute things, as well. We enjoyed a few meals together. In summary, Avita Villa is ideal for a simple retreat with loved ones or friends to take in the amazing landscape of Jamaica's southern coast and connect with a few good local folks. - Boat from Billy's Bay, up the Black River crabs at the bridge, and to the Pelican Bar.

You should probably stay here !! I cannot say enough good about Fred's place - the cottage, the beach, the views. I am in love and cannot wait to return. Fred's place was the last stay of my trip and it was exactly what I was looking for in Jamaica - a lovely place with ocean views, ocean access, the sea breeze, walking on the beach any time, sitting on the veranda watching birds. Aaaaaah ! The cottage has a nice kitchen with basics, including some food, there is a nice living space to chill out and the bedroom is spacious with a huge, comfy bed. The veranda is lovely, where you can sit back in the shade, eat breakfast or lunch or dinner :) and watch hummingbirds snack on the flowers nearby. We used the 'Directions' link on the e-mail using (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps to find the place and were greeted by Bruddah, the caretaker here. He is pleasant and helpful. He showed us the cottage and chatted a bit. During our stay, he did some laundry for us upon request. Any time that Fred or his guests saw us, they would say hello and ask how we were, but respected our privacy and space also. The Treasure Beach area, to me, is wonderful. It seems like a unique spot on the island. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and a good deal of tourists, but it is quiet and more serene than the more 'popular, touristy' areas in Jamaica. Personally, I love and appreciate this quality. In a fairly short drive, you can find food, including restaurants and markets, but if you want to cook for yourself and want more quality food, I would recommend stopping about an hour out on either side. I say this, because we were shopping for butter and coconut oil and had to drive to Junction to find anything other than margarine or vegetable oil. There are a fair amount of fruit and vegetable vendors though. They had an abundance of watermelons and scallions at this time. Beautiful and for little money. The people here seem pleasant and generous. We happened to stop by Calabash Bay one evening just as the fishermen were coming in, so my partner was able to purchase fresh fish, which he loves and I was able to snap some great pictures of the sun setting and the fishing boats and pots. While we stayed at Fred's place, we also drove out to YS Falls - another aspect of this stay that I love. I highly recommend a visit here. If I were to return, (when I return !) I would pack a picnic and plan to spend a good portion of the day at YS Falls. It is a wonderful spot, rainforest, the falls are gorgeous and there re several areas to relax, swim, and you can swing into the water or ride a zip line (for an extra fee). Oh, the beach at Fred's is amazing - it...

Darcie2017-03-01T00:00:00Z

Cottage by the Sea is a great economy stay! Clean, air conditioning, and King size bed! Amenities - tissue, soap were lean. Short walk to private beach. Cottage is next to Villa. Enjoyed fresh vegetables from Villa garden. Nice scooter or bike ride to Billy's Bay for restaurants, with beer stops and very friendly locals! It was a pleasure meeting everyone and experiencing the Jamaican culture. Respect! Looking forward to seeing all in the New Years Eve simulcast!

Betsy and I loved staying here, and especially loved the views from the bluff the cottage sits on and access to the secluded beach below.

kurt2015-10-19T00:00:00Z

The only regret we have is not coming here earlier! We stayed in Kingston one day and night (very interesting, but for your safety better stay on the hills not the city) and continued our trip to Negril, which was quite a deception. We expected tropical beaches and rum cocktails, yet received overpriced meals and a constant stream of hustlers! Thankfully after three days we continued our trip to treasure beach, where Fred picked us up and brought us to his lovely house. Here we finally found what we expected from Jamaica; private beaches (honestly, you'll be alone on pretty much all beaches you go!), amazing food from Kero (make sure you go to Kero's Kitchen! We can guarantee the best food + music of the island!), and most importantly, you'll find amazingly friendly people here! Fred & Alison (and their friend Jolene) really made sure we felt welcome and included in their relaxed island lifestyle, and they brought us to places we would otherwise not visit. They introduced us to Josh, Tanielia and Kero, who might be the most fun people in Jamaica and we're happy they invited us to delicious (home cooked) jerk chicken dinners, brought us to the pelican bar and taught us to play domino's (make sure you team up with Kero, you'll definitely win! "the cooks never do the dishes" :)) The guesthouse you'll be staying has the most comfortable bed you can imagine, a lovely patio, comfortable kitchen and amazing location - just steps away from the private beach! Furthermore, you can relax in the hammock, overlooking the ocean (where you might even spot some dolphins), or - if you're a bit more sporty - take the bikes and cycle into town to Kero's Kitchen or to the 'South Pole', where they sell the coldest beer in town! Make sure you pop by the newest beach bar in treasure beach (just a couple of steps from the 'south pole', doesn't have a name yet, but Fred will know where it is), where you will be able to meet even more friendly locals and can take a dip into the beautiful calm ocean. Make sure that you contact Fred prior to your trip so that he can give you some good tips on how to travel, because it's really fortunate to meet someone who you can trust will be honest with you (unlike the Kingston taxi drivers)! We cannot wait to return to Jamaica just to be picked up by Josh (either in his pick-up truck or helicopter:)) and go directly for some lobster burgers at Kero's Kitchen! And we will definitely make sure to stay at the lovely guesthouse at Fred and Alisons place again! Definitely worthy of 5 stars!

Suzanne2015-11-14T00:00:00Z

Fred and Alison’s property is splendidly situated on a cliff (stunning semi-private beach - swimming possible when calm) near the laid back charm of Treasure Beach, delicious food and friendly locals, all of which we adored. The Cottage is comfortable, with air-con in the bedroom. We had a splendid time, despite our concerns. Airbnb is based on trust. Previous guests wrote that they were satisfied with the hosts and this property (though two reviewers pointed out some concerns similar to mine). Unfortunately our experience was unlike any other Airbnbs I have experienced. (I love this website and rely heavily on the reviews so I want to help others with this potentially wonderful place). I would like to mention that I am extremely well travelled and not at all fussy! However: 1. Complicated and not clear instructions to reach property - don’t attempt after dark! Need better directions. 2. The cottage is NOT to the right of the main house (as described in the ‘kayaking’ photo) - (that is a tiny cabana for your sole use). It is roughly 200 feet from the sea, behind Fred’s large house, so you have a good view of that and a very narrow side view of sea from the cottage. In fact, it is closer to a quiet-ish road at the back of the property, than the sea. 3. Despite what Fred has said, the handyman lives at the back of the cottage (separate entrance and new large gate which is very visible/different to the photo and spoils the simple look of the cottage) - I can absolutely verify that he was there every night. We heard him through the thin walls, like the other reviewer mentioned. 4. Fred should list this cottage as a private room therefore, in which case we would have filtered this property out. 5. Lots of mosquitos. Wasps nests were not removed despite our request after I was stung twice. 6. Like another reviewer mentioned, rather a lot of activity on site. No privacy. 7. Ill-equipped kitchen. We bought a few products that were missing. Oven not working at all, though Fred allowed us to cook in the main house but unsatisfactory. 8. No beach towels (begrudgingly lent, after telling me to read the ‘small print’ and that it was not a 'resort or hotel'! - I did (many times) - no mention to bring these at all. No soap of any kind, either. 9. Super complicated rubbish disposal system - involving throwing ‘compost’ into sea via razor sharp coral reef, which we didn’t like doing! No bin in cottage, which I bought. Fred look surprised when I asked for one. 10. Despite our 8 nights, no bed linen change, no fresh towels, no cleaning offered. Would be good to have that on offer if anyone needs it over a long period? 11. No local info whatsoever. Someone called Josh was mentioned, but when I asked to meet him, was told he was too busy. Later in the week...

Enjoy Western Caribbean Sea sunsets, a fire on the beach, a barbecue on the outdoor patio. Prepare meals in a your fully equipped kitchen. A wilderness on the sea. This apartment has its own entrance and is situated to give complete sound and visual privacy.

We are on the sea, surrounded by forest in the rural setting and not near bars, clubs and noise, but close enough to Treasure Beach's village of Billy's Bay which is just over 1 mile away - a general store and 3 restaurants -for shopping and eating. Many more restaurants, food markets, bars, clubs are located within a 3 miles- 12 minute drive. Also many farm stands and local vendors who sell fruits, vegetables, fish, lobster, as well chicken, goat and pork- cooked and uncooked. And yes you can even get pizza, hamburgers and french fries at Jack Sprats and Frenchmans Reef.
We are adjacent to a beach and many more within 1 to 3 miles from the property. The Pelican Bar is a 20 minute boat ride away and can be combine with a day tour of the Black River Morass which is the largest fresh water eco system in the Caribbean. Just a mile away is Fort Charles Beach as know as Starve Guts Bay- 4 miles long - sand dunes and off shore reefs. What makes our property unique is that we are away from the noise and in a clean and natural setting but not isolated.
We are located on a rural coastal road with little traffic, perfect for walking or biking along.

Having left it pretty late to book accommodation for the biennial Calabash literary festival in Treasure Beach, it was a huge relief when my boyfriend and I discovered the adorable Avita Villa. Though a 10/15 min drive from the heart of the festival action, Fred (owner) connected us with Rambo, who collected us from Mo Bay and was a kind of fatherly chaperone during our stay. A real gent, he was so reliable when we wanted transport around Treasure Beach with very reasonable prices. Really felt comfortable with him and enjoyed picking his brains about the area. Breddah, the on-site caretaker, was another star. His presence was comforting but never intrusive and he was so helpful in arranging activites, answering our questions, and even gifted me some fresh fruits when we arrived late in the evening. We enjoyed his company and advice greatly. A very cool guy! Our cottage was clean, cute, and cosy and suited our needs as city people who like our creature comforts: wifi and air conditioning, basically. I enjoyed the decor and the art in the room, too. The window blinds were also great, whether you wanted total privacy or to block out the light for a long lie-in after sunrise. If you're coming to this area, please don't expect 5* luxury, but you will find character, charm, and beauty in abundance. And, let me tell you: the pictures do not do the property justice. It's so lovely with gorgeous views and the little tables and beach chairs overlooking the ocean made us say on more than one occasion: this is the life! The garden and plants are coming along nicely, and it was lovely in the morning to see Breddah doing his gardening like clockwork as we went about our day. We honestly wish we could've stayed longer to take advantage of the amenities and really relax and explore the area. When we moved on to our plush resort in Montego Bay, we longed for the authenticity of Avita and the area in general. We definitely plan to return in the future. Thanks so much for having us! We really enjoyed our stay.

Amy2017-06-07T00:00:00Z

Fred's place is beautiful! My girlfriend and I didn't see another soul on his beach the entire time we were there. Bredda, the groundskeeper, hooked us up with a good deal for transportation to and from the airport as well as a scooter rental. All in all it was a great experience and exactly what we wanted out of our vacation.

Carter2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

Avita Villa provides a peaceful and private environment, which is perfect to distress.The environment is clean and well kept. There is plenty of space to relax outside with your neighbors and other guests. Having to walk two minutes to beach was a great advantage! The scenery is beautiful . Though it may be distant from the main town, Bredda,the caretaker and Josh, our neighbor helped us to get the things we needed. I would advise all guest to pack food and drinks, because the shops and restaurants are far and you will need transportation to get there. Avita's ambiance is mollifying! We must visit again!

Rochelle2016-09-05T00:00:00Z

Nice stay. Beautiful view :)

Sage2017-03-25T00:00:00Z

My stay at Fred's cottage at Avita was amazing! I could not have asked for more and felt like I got so much more than I was even hoping for! - The grounds are beautifully kept- Bredda (caretaker) was an amazingly friendly face to see. You could tell he truly loved the property and wanted the stay to be spectacular. There is a gazebo for amazing views over morning coffee and the sheer number of butterflies everywhere is picturesque! - The beach is secluded with plenty of trees to lay a blanket down under, small pools between rocks to relax in, and an unbelievable view of the ocean. I spent many hours here and never once felt like I wanted to be anywhere else in Jamaica. - The cottage is perfect for one person or a couple- the fully functional kitchen is equipped with the essential tools, having slept wonderfully in the air conditioned room with a King sized bed, and relaxing on the porch in complete quiet and peacefulness. (As others mentioned- be sure to get to a supermarket- Rambo was unbelievably helpful in picking his phone up immediately to help us get to one. Use him- he's super friendly and keeps you feeling comfortable among the village/market!) - The WiFi was an added bonus, although it is easy to forgot the outside world in this little paradise. Fred responded quickly to all communications. He was professional, personable and inviting so that once you arrive to the property you are already comfortable. If you are looking at and considering this property, just go for it. You've found the right one!”

you wanna have a real bomboclat experience 100% Jamaica, no stress and chillax to the max, then irie rest is the way to go. Lennie is a great host and became a friend. And Pauline's food is superb too.

The house is not located to treasure beach but Billy's bay is at 5minutes of an almost private beach where you can relax. Lennie was friendly and very helpful! Thanks!

Lennie is a good host! The room was very nice, clean, spacious and airy! Despite being busy with a few things, Lennie gave me some tips on how to turn me in Treasure Beach! The place is very calm and quiet! Recommend! :)

Hosts were extremely welcoming. They called to provide directions and when we arrived we felt genuinely welcomed. The home is located in a beautiful quiet neighborhood in the countryside. It sits atop a hill so it has a lovely view of the surrounding area and a strong cool breeze. No air conditioning needed here. The unit is quite spacious and was very clean. Breakfasts were delicious and featured many fresh local produce. We had a truly lovely stay. The hosts were most gracious. Would be happy to stay there again and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking to relax on the south coast of the island

A purpose built Labour of love, nestling in a local community in St. Elizabeth, bringing north coast luxury to the beautiful South of the island.
Owned and run by a London couple, passionate about showing you the natural beauty of the parish & island.

You will have access to all the apartment except the other bedrooms. The kitchen is accessible, but not any appliances e.g. fridge. The external space is fantastic, with a raised sun deck, swimming pool, plunge pool and shade areas. There is also a rooftop area 60x40, with panoramic views of Spur Tree Hill and the south coast.

In th heart of a farming community, this is a chance to see how real Jamaicans live, all in the luxury you would expect of a tourist resort.

Very affordable accommodation in a scenic area with pool and very nice host and hostess. Helps in every way. Car hire. Not a partying place but much to see and experience. Near the real Jamaica. Good service. Possibility of dinner cooked by Sheila who is a trained chef in addition to breakfast. Possibility to rent one room or more with kitchen and living room. Best possible opinion of me and my husband.

Barbro2017-02-19T00:00:00Z

We had a fantastic stay at Big Red. I couldn't have asked for a better host. Leslie and Sheila have an amazing home that felt like a home away from home. The decor in the house was so modern and nice. We enjoyed our morning swims and breakfast by the pool. The views were breathtaking. I loved coming out in the morning and standing by the 'titanic peer' (so we nicknamed it) and looking out onto the sea coast. Could not fault our time spent here in anyway. Highly commend the attention to detail that was given to every aspect of our stay. I definitely recommend staying here for anyone look for a comfortable and relaxing stay within minutes drive of the sea and Little Ochi seafood restaurant.

It was relaxing and peaceful and exactly what I needed. This was my first time using Airbnb it was fantastic and I will definitely book with Lennie again.

There are nice wooden chairs, a table and very practical mosquito-net. Lennie (manager), Fossy (guy for everything... even for selfmade newschool-reggae) and Malcom (captain, tourguide) are very nice and lovely peoples they welcomes you with a open heart. Irie rest is for sure autentic, real and just "Rasta plus". Hope to see you again guys! Ja man, respect ;-) Mariano

Lennie was a great host. The appatments are very clean and cosy. There is everything you need for a good holiday. The beach is just a few meters away. Lennie helped us to organize a boot trip. I highly recommend staying with Lennie and his family.

Claudia2017-02-28T00:00:00Z

When we did research on Jamaica, many people recommended Treasure Beach for an authentic Jamaican experience. After reading several reviews we decided on Irie Rest. This place was amazing. We were greeted with smiles all around. They had a little shaded area in the front with hammocks. The room we stayed in was extremely spacious and very clean. There is a common area outside with a picnic table and tv. They can cook for you and can I tell you the food is just so delicious and extremely reasonably priced. Lennie drove us to many places when he was available which was very much appreciated and the drives were extremely enjoyable because he also gave us a little history lesson and he was very informative. Lennie was very attentive. We were on our way to do a boat tour and he told us we should wear a hat and cover up if we could because the boat did not have a cover and the sun was incredibly strong that day. Across the street from Lennie's there is also an amazing resaturant called "The Singing Chef". Last but not least, Lennie's pets. So well behaved and so incredibly cute. They were a bonus to an already perfect time. This place is highly highy recommended!!

This is an absolute hidden gem! If you're looking for an off the beaten path experience, away from other tourists, this is where you need the be. My husband and I were the only two guests at the house, so we really were away from it all. The house is right on the water, so you wake up to the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks and birds chirping. We spent our mornings on the outdoor patio, sipping our coffee and enjoying the breathtaking view. The house itself is also amazing - especially the kitchen which we used to cook breakfast. Bredda was such a great help as well. He helped us get set up with a boat ride out to Pelican Bar - a MUST if you've never been. The house is about 15 minutes from town, so you'll have a little bit of a drive to get food, but it's totally doable. My husband and I rented a small car and the roads were just fine for us. Yes, there are lots of potholes, but drive slow and you'll be just fine! It's part of the adventure :) Fred was an amazing host too. He helped us on several occasions and made excellent restaurant recommendations. If you stay here - or even go to Treasure Beach - you MUST go to Smurfs Cafe. The food is amazing, the coffee is even better, and the owner (Dawn) is an absolute sweetheart.

Meagan2017-07-05T00:00:00Z

Fred and his wife Alison, were both very friendly and warm. We met up with them both before we left for our vacation to Jamaica. He gave us tips of places to visit and trips to take.

tahira2016-01-05T00:00:00Z

If you're looking for Beautiful scenic views, and hearing the soothing sounds of waves from your bedroom windows and balcony, this place offers all that and more!! I wanted a place to relax and release all my stress and tensions from work and this place was an excellent choice for us. Our host Fred was easy to communicate with and his wonderful caretaker, Bredda, was always ready to be of assistance, if needed. We would definitely make Avita Villa one of our annual vacation spots

Julia2017-05-20T00:00:00Z

We traveled from Montego Bay, to Negril, back up to Port Antionio, to Kingston and then to Treasure Beach for our stay here. This place was amazing, the pool, the decks over looking the water, the beach, the spacious villa with AC in the master bedroom, it was so perfect for us, so peaceful. It is not far from some great swimming beaches, and some great places to eat. The vibe we got was so friendly and safe throughout the town and we felt so welcome. We were so happy we decided to spend our last week of our honeymoon here. If we ever return to Jamaica Treasure Beach and this villa will be where we stay. AND Brudda the caretaker is on point, he was such a help to us during our stay even hooked us up with a Black River/Pelican Bar boat tour. If you are

Tharyn2017-08-03T00:00:00Z

The house is SPECTACULAR! You really have to see it. It is the perfect cross between traditional Jamaican Home and Luxury. Fred was great, he was not there to greet us in person, but "Bredda" was there and had Fred on the phone waiting to speak with us, even though it was around 10PM. Upstairs had a great breeze and there are birds and butterflies everywhere. We met a nice couple from Canada who rented the 1 br downstairs from us... Very nice trip, if you go to Black River stop at "Cloggies" try the soup! I spent 44 days altogether in Jamaica on this trip. This house was the highlight.

Scott2016-11-17T00:00:00Z

Thank you so much for the wonderful stay. Bredda made us feel right at home and helped accommodate all of our rides and activities. Treasure Beach is truly a special place and I can't wait to return. It was pure tropical magic. Fred's house is right on the beach and accessible to everything in TB. Would highly recommend.

Erin 2017-04-29T00:00:00Z

We were very fortunate to find Villa Avita at short notice after being let down by another villa operator through (URL HIDDEN) four days before we travelled. Fred was referred to us by Josh who owns a Villa next door, and we booked through airBnb. Having never been to Jamaica before the whole holiday was an adventure ... Especially the roads, which were entertainingly bad if non existent in some places. So on Fred's recommendation we stayed in an all inclusive near Montego Bay on the first night and then made the journey to Treasure beach in the daylight... Strongly recommended if you don't want to to lose your way or the front spoiler off the hire car down a hole. Also there are very few signs especially on the B roads. Treasure beach is a get away from it holiday - it's certainly not commercialised - so you need to shop when you see a supermarket before you get there. The Villa is situated on the coast and has is own access to a private beach - it's very secluded - sandy and rocky. To be honest, the pictures of the property don't do it justice. We rented the whole Villa for the two of us ... And Fred didn't take any bookings for the bungalow that sits back behind the villa so we could have the place to ourselves. Fred was super helpful, and Bredda the care-taker was very welcoming and attentive. When we first got to the Villa and Bredda showed us around three floors and two massive balconies with the sound of the ocean crashing down below - we had big smiles on our faces as we knew after a stressful time with the other Villa, everything had come right. There is loads of space and the first floor bedroom looks right out onto the ocean. We spent a lot of time on the beach and in the villa, which is what makes this kind of holiday appealing if you want to be away from other people. Lots of wildlife .. Bredda arranged a boat trip to see Black River crocodiles - ( a huge 16 + foot monster ) and the Pelican bar in the sea - lots of Pelicans. We visited Negril Beach about two hours away, and the falls which were 45 minutes away. The garden of the villa has a great gazebo with chairs and hammocks - so you have many places to sit and watch the sun go down or star gaze. We enjoyed our time at the Villa, and would thoroughly recommend it.
